SDL_iconv_string - Man Page

Defined in SDL3/SDL_stdinc.h

#include "SDL3/SDL.h"

char * SDL_iconv_string(const char *tocode,
                   const char *fromcode,
                   const char *inbuf,
                   size_t inbytesleft);

This function converts a buffer or string between encodings in one pass.

The string does not need to be NULL-terminated; this function operates on the number of bytes specified in inbytesleft whether there is a NULL character anywhere in the buffer.

The returned string is owned by the caller, and should be passed to

SDL_free
when no longer needed.

tocode

the character encoding of the output string. Examples are "UTF-8", "UCS-4", etc.

fromcode

the character encoding of data in inbuf .

inbuf

the string to convert to a different encoding.

inbytesleft

the size of the input string _in bytes_.

Returns a new string, converted to the new encoding, or NULL on error.

This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.
